More cash and better schedules. And god knows we need better schedules, I start a 9.5 hour 3 day tomorrow. WOO HOO!
I'll put money down rigs will come up. Take a look on the union board at how many will shoot down anything without rigs in it. They could just fire Joe Cespedes and I'd call it even. It's up to them. He makes sure we get those nice 3+hr sits in CVG all the time so he can reassign the captains.
